Kissinger's method and Ozawa's method are used to calculate this parameter using thermogravimetric data. For complex reactions such as the pyrolysis of coal, this quantity is assumed to have a probability distribution. This quantity can be expressed as the negative product of RT times the natural log of the reaction rate coefficient over the frequency factor, and the difference between the starting point and the highest point on a reaction coordinate diagram gives this quantity. Catalysts increase the rate of a reaction by providing a mechanism with a lower value of this quantity. For 10 points, name this energy barrier, the minimum energy required to start a chemical reaction, which is symbolized Ea.
